Hi,
Having pain in abdomen and passing black stool requires attention to your problem.
This problem might be due to acute gastritis or gastric ulcer where chronic blood loss might give rise black stool.
This problem might not have any connection with pregnancy.
If you are taking Iron tablets which is usually prescribed during pregnancy does cause black stool.
Go for stool test for blood called maliena.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
